SP2 Install Failure

[lisalou]

Have received Installation Failure Code 0x8007F01E. I am not able to find
this error in the Windows Update error listing.

I am finally (at long last) trying to upadte my VAIO PCV-RX550 XP Home SP1.
The biggest move was to finally install SP2. I had been reluctant to do so
over the past couple of years due to hearing about so many problemw. It is
critical for me to do so now because most anti-virus programs will not run
without it and my computer is currently in a compromised situation.

If anyone can assist me with this error I would be grateful!

The error message relates to: "Failed to install catalog files". Source:

Your system is way behind in updates. Be sure that you at least have Windows
Installer 3.1 v2 installed. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/893803

You can fix your problem with utilities such as Dial-A-Fix
http://wiki.djlizard.net/Dial-a-fix, but you may find it easier/faster to ask
the experts at news://msnews.microsoft.com/microsoft.public.windowsupdate.

They may have a simple script or command that you could run.

Once you get that straightened out, install SP3 and stay up-to-date.
